Lots to Catch up on ...and No Time to Do It

Well, we've made it...it is Sunday night-which means, we've officially made it to BABY WEEK!!!! I absolutely CANNOT believe how quickly the past 9 (but really 10) months have gone. At the same time, I feel like I have been pregnant for a REALLY, REALLY long time. When I look down at my belly (which is STILL growing) I can't believe how big it has gotten. I can't believe I am preparing for my THIRD baby. And I certainly can't believe that in 3 short days we will be meeting our DAUGHTER.
The boys seem ready. I am starting to feel a little anxiety mixed with all of the excitement, about the big changes that are going to happen for my 2 little guys. I know what a gift a sibling is...but I also know how another sibling means lots of change-and lots less individual attention for them. At the same time-I think they're both amazing little boys, and I think they are going to adore their little sister.
Mom is down here now-she got here yesterday-just in time to watch Hayden's tball game-which was a lot of fun. It was so nice to finally have some family at one of his events-and he loved every second of it! Last night Jason and I got to go out to celebrate his 33rd birthday-it was relaxing and fun and just what we needed. Thanks Mom-for watching the boys!!!
Today we had a great day getting Baby Reagan's room ready for her arrival. It turned out just as I had imagined and hoped and I think it's going to be perfect for our little girl. It was one of those days where we just hung out, worked, talked, laughed...Mom even napped...and it made me even more aware of how much I miss her and living close to her and the rest of my family.
Jason was exceptionally amazing today, honestly. He worked his bum off for me-hung things on the walls, cleaned, took care of the kids, ran errands...it is days like this that remind me of how lucky I am to have so many people in my life who love me and who are willing to do whatever it takes to make me happy. I am grateful.
We still have some things to get done before Wednesday. I'm trying not to get too overwhelmed-I know that whatever doesn't get done is okay. The main thing is focusing on spending some quality time with my 3 boys and my Mama before Reagan gets here and our world flips upside down.
Tomorrow all of us are heading to Chuck E Cheese as a last hurrah for the boys...followed up by a mani/pedi as a last hurrah for Mom and I. We also have to squeeze in a few errands...but I'm looking forward to a fun day with my favorite people.
